A private rural retreat designed for independence, natural beauty, and long-term vision. Located just eight minutes from the center of Vilcabamba, this property offers privacy, panoramic surroundings, and a level of infrastructure rarely found in comparable rural estates. It is conceived not only as a home, but as a secure and scalable investment in one of the most desirable areas of southern Ecuador.

​

The property comprises 24,105 m² of land thoughtfully organized to balance aesthetics, productivity, and future development potential. The main residence features 78 m² of internal space and 196 m² of total covered construction. It includes one spacious bedroom, one full bathroom, and an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with generous proportions throughout. Architectural details highlight rustic materials executed with precision: exposed log columns on the façade, polished concrete kitchen countertops, solid wood closets and frames, and river stone finishes in the bathroom.

​

Outdoor living has been carefully integrated into the design. A covered porch includes a complete grill area and a large outdoor dining space. A separate pergola, wrapped in flowering plants, creates an intimate setting near the fire pit. The landscaping across the property is intentionally designed, creating an internal environment that feels both natural and curated.

​

A separate warehouse structure provides 12.25 m² of internal area and 30 m² total covered space. Built with a concrete base, steel structure, and finished brick walls, it houses the solar-backed electrical system capable of operating independently from the public grid, while maintaining connection to the grid as backup. All electrical installations are underground, preserving visual cleanliness across the landscape.

Water security is a key strength. A natural spring located approximately one kilometer away, originating from the mountains surrounding Podocarpus, is already channeled to the property. Two on-site reservoirs provide a total storage capacity of 3,000 liters.

 

Throughout the land, engineered rainwater channels optimize irrigation and prevent humidity issues in any structure. Retaining walls, exterior stairways, and iron fencing have all been completed, making the property immediately livable without pending infrastructure work.

​

The land has been zoned into three large areas with the potential to function independently if desired. Together, these usable sections exceed 9,000 m². The terrain features a gentle slope suitable for additional planting or future construction, while native trees preserve the intrinsic character of the environment. Mature fruit trees produce mango, banana, orange, aloe, loquat, papaya, avocado, apple, fig, and coffee, adding both value and sustainability.

​

Located in the Uruche neighborhood, accessed by gravel road just eight minutes from Vilcabamba’s center, the area is known for its elevated views, peace, and absence of noise and pollution. The access road is under development, and during the rainy season there may be temporary loss of vehicle access.

​

This property distinguishes itself through real infrastructure advantages: solar autonomy with grid backup, spring-fed water supply, underground electrical systems, structured drainage, and pre-planned zoning for future expansion. It offers a level of foresight and execution that reduces risk and increases long-term flexibility.

​

It is ideally suited for an investor seeking strategic land near Vilcabamba, a buyer pursuing semi-off-grid living with reliable infrastructure, or a couple looking for privacy with agricultural and expansion potential.
